chapter 20
EP.20 Academy Underground Dungeon (5)
“Dad. Why are you so busy these days?”
Kim Chae-eun looked at Kim Myung-hyun, who was sitting at the desk.
These days, he’s been restless all day.
During my work hours, I educated students at the academy, and in my spare time, I was educating exclusive disciples… When I get home, I write in full swing what I am making.
He works all weekdays, except weekends.
Thanks to this, it was Kim Chae-eun who did not have enough time to eat with her father.
Kim Myung-hyun smiled kindly towards such a daughter.
“We are making Kyobojae materials.”
“Are you Kyobojae?”
“yes. Jaehyun Do holder is very strong in the practical part, but the theoretical part is almost blank. There are limits to what can be said in words… I’m just trying to figure it out in writing.”
Jaehyun Do is a holder with excellent absorbency.
Seeing that he was registered as an assassin, he would have thought he had a talent for the [dagger] rune, but to Kim Myung-hyun, he seemed more talented with the [sword] rune.
It’s just like learning swordsmanship from two masters.
[Wave test method] and [Wave test method] are.
The way they learn and the nature themselves are completely different swordsmanships.
Unlike ‘derived skills’, which can be learned somehow if the level is sufficient, ‘derived runes’ require realization and an overflowing understanding of the rune to be registered.
“Even if you teach ordinary warrior-type holders as exclusive disciples, no runes will be created.”
“A flow test?”
“yes. Unlike swords, which are normal runes, derived rare runes such as surviving swordsmanship are actually the realm of talent.”
And this was the same for [Wave Test].
Are the two swordsmanships a rare rune for nothing?
It is not a rune that anyone can learn just because anyone can follow it.
However, it is not enough for Do Jae-hyeon to learn at the same time.
He fuses the two swordsmen and makes various attempts in swordsmanship.
The effort to learn and the passion to fill the gaps.
As a holder educator of the academy.
There was no way Kim Myung-hyun didn’t like him.
Kim Chae-eun looked at her father with a piercing expression on her face.
“Do you like Jaehyun that much?”
“ha ha ha. From a professor’s point of view, a student who learns well is good.”
“Whoever sees it will know that Do Jae-hyun is his son.”
I said it bluntly.
Kim Chae-eun had a smile on her lips for nothing.
It was because the father’s face, who was working overtime even after the day was over, did not look tired and was bright.
‘You look good.’
Kim Myung-hyun is a person who has a strong sense of pride in his sword.
A sword that moves softly and flexibly and moves like art.
He spent many years perfecting his own sword, and walked most of his holder’s life in such an independent way.
It was the [flowing test method] that came out like that.
It was the professorship that he got along the way.
‘But… ‘
However, he was not greatly welcomed by the holders.
Most warrior-type holders wanted destructive and powerful power.
So Tak Won-ho, who uses an exciting swordsmanship, became popular, and Kim Myung-hyun, who had neither a special career nor a clan, showed relatively low interest.
Of course, even basic lectures on [Sword] are not unpopular.
His teaching methods were known for being neat and savvy.
However, there were only a few people who actively wanted to learn the [flowing sword method].
So Kim Myung-hyun did not receive an exclusive disciple.
Because no one really wanted to learn him.
‘I’m glad I have Jaehyun.’
However, recently, his best friend, Do Jae-hyeon, became an exclusive disciple of Kim Myung-hyun and is learning his sword.
Even how strong the impression was.
Even Kim Myung-hyun’s passion for education is burning again.
A positive change made by good people.
Kim Chae-eun, who is close to both of them.
Naturally, this change had to be satisfactory.
“Anyway, come to the table as soon as it’s over. Because I made dinner.”
“… … .”
dinner set up
in that one word.
Kim Myung-hyun, who was rolling the pen, stopped moving.
Then he looked at his daughter slowly with a stiff face.
“Perhaps… Should I eat it?”
“Are you really going to die?”
“I’m so tired that I’m out of words. I’ll be back soon, Chae-eun-ah.”
Kim Myung-hyun quickly nodded and changed his words.
Now, without Do Jae-hyeon due to a special promise.
What should be done with Kim Chae-eun’s homemade dinner.
Unfortunately, he was the only father, Kim Myung-hyun.

Academy Underground Dungeon.
Our party has finished attacking from the beginning to the final stage.
One step to the next level.
But we ran into a problem.
“Aren’t you pushing this?”
Moon Ga-eun whimpered and pushed the rock.
And a rock that doesn’t budge.
It’s only natural that I couldn’t advance to the next stage of the dungeon because of this rock.
“… Come out for a second.”
Kang Joo-yeon raised her hands and said.
It looks like it’s trying to shoot runic magic.
Me and Moon Ga-eun quickly moved to their seats behind her.
Kaga-Gaga- Hurry up!
[Light Meteor], which played a major role in hunting Lizardmen, shined once again.
Originally, [Light Meteor] was equivalent to a wide-area weapon that shoots at several monsters, but if it was that big of a rock, it was possible to shoot it in one point.
Several rough fire pits fell like bombs on the rocks.
But after the smoke of the flame is gone.
There was a little silence inside the dungeon.
“… … .”
“The main character. No scratches?”
Gaeun Moon is truly amazing.
What a strong heart to say to Kang Joo-yeon without hesitation.
Aren’t you afraid to get angry?
Still, shock therapy worked.
“… wait.”
After Kang Joo-yeon bit her lip slightly.
Once again, it was magically prepared.
ah…
I wouldn’t be able to do that no matter what.
As in the original, and as it is now.
That rock at the end of the dungeon entrance.
It cannot be penetrated by Kang Joo-yeon’s magic.
First of all, the first problem is that that rock is not an ordinary rock, but a ‘special rock composed of magic stones’ on the outside and inside.
Mana Stones basically contain mana, and have a high affinity for everything that consists of mana.
Therefore, this rock composed entirely of magic stones.
It is not easily broken even when a strong attack with magical power is blown away.
And the second reason it’s hard to break through.
That is, Kang Joo-yeon’s magic series is ‘fire’.
Fire-type magic was a matchmaking that didn’t have much effect on things like rocks.
Even the magic itself doesn’t have much of an effect, but even that’s a matchmaking magic… In fact, Kang Joo-yeon’s attack could not penetrate the rock no matter what.
Kaga-ga-
Whoops, whoops!
[Light Meteor] explodes once again.
This time, the attack felt more powerful than the one just used.
But it was still not too young.
There was a slight scratch on the hard magic stone, but it was difficult to break the rock like this.
A suffocating silence passed again.
“Ahaha. There are things even the main character can’t do. Miraculous. Ahahaha.”
“… … .”
Please stop.
Stop it, Gaeun Moon… .
The atmosphere became as cold as ice in an instant.
I took the lead in trying to calm the mood.
“ha ha ha! Kang Juyeon Fire magic is almost the best, but if you look at what doesn’t work, it’s probably a rock that doesn’t break easily with magic. Somehow with power… ”
But my body, which was at the forefront, stopped for a moment.
in what i said
I feel weird about myself.
by force… ?
As I touched the rock, it came to mind really suddenly.
After entering the dungeon for the first time and hunting Lizardmen.
A rare rune I got lucky, [Strength].
Unlike normal runes, rare runes often derive skills from the start or have special effects, and among them, [Strength] was a case of having two at the same time.
The special effect of [Strength].
That is, when lifting or pushing a specific object, it can generate twice its strength.
This magic stone that stood in our way.
Naturally, it fell into the category of ‘specific things’.
I want to realize the moment flashing thoughts.
I immediately took a seat in front of the rock and called Moon Ga-eun.
“Moon Ga-eun. Just like before, help me for a second.”
“Are you going to push again? He really didn’t even budge.”
“It’s okay, just once.”
“Hmm… Okay.”
Gaeun Moon took a seat next to me.
After shaking my hands a few times, I was ready.
In an instant, he mobilized all his strength.
“Ugh… !!”
A rock that pushes away with all its might.
It’s still the same as not moving…
I could feel the rock moving little by little on my palm.
“uh… ?”
And it wasn’t just me.
Moon Ga-eun, who was pushing with her, also tilted her head.
“What is this? Why do you think it will be?”
“Let’s do it one more time.”
“Ah, yes.”
gurgling-
I hear the roar of a rock about to be pushed away.
But is it still not strong enough to push it out completely?
The rock only shows signs of being pushed away.
It hasn’t been pushed out as far as I can see yet.
Still, it was a huge improvement compared to the past.
Moon Ga-eun asked me with a surprised face.
“Wow. Jaehyun Do How strong are you? This is going a little farther.”
“I know. I was surprised too.”
An idea came to my mind and I tried it.
I didn’t know it would really work.
My strength level right now is 27.
If the force is doubled here, 54 strength is applied, so this hard rock was definitely pushed back little by little.
“Still, I don’t think I can push this right now.”
“yes. Probably… ”
In addition to my [strength], even though Ga-eun Moon, who had a decent strength level, pushed it together, the rock did not completely push.
It seems to be the same even if Kang Joo-yeon is attached here.
She’s a wizard-type holder that has little to do with her strength level.
Then push this rock away.
And going beyond the beginning and moving on to the next.
That was one way.
“Party member. Will you need more?”
It was to add a new holder to the party.
